Evidence Found No​.​1 is an Anniversary compilation curated by the London Based label Little Beat Different. Featuring the likes of “Dempa” and “Regular Customer” as well as some found favorites, this compilation is driven by a powerful roster. One of the most notable tracks, “Break & Enter III” by Varum, exhibits a particularly authentic tone. Hailing from Leipzig, Germany, Varum has crafted a unique sound; blurring the lines between lo-fi house and techno.

The first noticeable thing about “Break & Enter III” is its organic textures and raw aesthetic. Varumʼs dark and gritty formula fuses a tight breakbeat pattern with lush and spacious pads, which creates an oddly nostalgic atmosphere. The 7- minute track meshes multiple motifs, each section carrying a slight variation of the main melody, which reads as somewhat of mini-mix. Aside from the songs structure, the production is top notch. The breakbeatʼs muted Hi hats and snares provide a stark and clever contrast to the glistening synths. “Break & Enter III” is a breath of fresh air when compared to todays polished EDM tracks, and will provide the perfect, fierce, crescendo for a set-closing track.

PREMIERE : Varum - Break & Enter Pt.3

Bbased in Sao Paulo, brazilian imprint ODD Discos first release is a collection of 4 tracks showcasing the talents of its residents : Davis, Frontinn, Vermelho and Zopelar. This track by Zopelar shows the quintessential elements of his compostional style, where fierce rhythms and intricate melodies intertwine and propel us across the floor while taking us on a journey through past and future, interpolating between his Brasilian roots and the futurism that informs his creativity. Dope !

SEEKING ARRANGEMENT

NAME: Drew Briggs AKA Divine Interface AKA WiFi _daddy
LOCATION: Atlanta, GA
SEEKING: Casual but intimate encounters
LIFESTYLE BUDGET: Broke but not broken
DESCRIPTION: Lonely but never alone

Conversations from a bathroom stall. Greetings shouted across the dance floor. Lines whispered in your ear at the bar. These are just a few of the audible vignettes that make up Drew Briggs’ (AKA Divine Interface) latest EP, Seeking Arrangement. Briggs is our steadfast narrator throughout, offering thoughtful meditations on love, time, and what we do with them. He may suspect that love and romance are transactions, but it’s not that bleak: on Seeking Arrangement, he’s making collages with the receipts.

This was the ethos behind Briggs’ decision to name his latest release after the leading sugar baby dating site. Seeking Arrangement is both a nod to his native Atlanta (home to the largest sugar baby population in the country) and a playful commentary on the state of modern romance. Briggs, it turns out, is well-acquainted with the subject - a fixture in the local DJ scene by night and an employee of a sex furniture distributor by day, he’s built a life around helping people get down.

Briggs’ second release as Divine Interface (and first on 2MR) plunges the listener directly into his nightly routine - from club to afterparty to cab ride home. This effort is aided in part by his somewhat unorthodox creative process - most of the album was recorded in his bed, where he set up his equipment to encourage himself to work in the tired hours between gigs and shifts. As a result, the freshness of the material is palpable; the subject matter thoroughly lived-in. It makes perfect sense, after all, for an album about romance to be born between the sheets. Full of field notes from a night well spent, this is bedroom hip-hop done by someone who’s hardly home.

Perhaps this is because home, for Briggs, extends beyond his four walls. The city of Atlanta is the boisterous backdrop of this record, making appearances both literally, as in fellow ATL artist Fit Of Body’s appearance on “Sometimes,” and sonically, in Briggs’ unique fusion of the local hip-hop and electronic scenes. “In The Back” is a sleazy dance floor banger, while “Slide Piece” is a liquid-smooth after party groove. Lines blur across genre in the same way that hours seem to after a few drinks: “it’s getting late,” he muses on lead single “So Fine,” “but she don’t believe in time.”

Drew Briggs has never been a sugar baby, but he passes no judgment on the lifestyle. After all, aren’t all relationships transactional in a way? If it’s not money being traded, it’s social status, access, validation, emotional support, etc. Whether we’re aware of it or not, we make tacit agreements and set expectations. In other words, we seek arrangements.
